Heruvimskaya pesn' No. 7 by Dmitri Bortniansky — Lyrics
Иже Херувимы тайно образующе,
и животворящей Тройцѣ трисвятую пѣснь припѣвающе.
Всякое нынѣ житейское отложимъ попеченіе.

About Heruvimskaya pesn' No. 7
Dmitri Bortniansky's Heruvimskaya pesn' No. 7 is a setting of the Cherubic Hymn, a central part of the Orthodox Divine Liturgy. Sung in Church Slavonic, this anthem for SATB choir reflects the solemnity and mystery of the rite. The text, which Bortniansky sets with devotional artistry, speaks of the Cherubim mystically representing the Trinity and singing the thrice-holy hymn. It urges the faithful to set aside earthly cares, preparing to receive the King of all, borne invisibly by angelic hosts. This powerful sacred work calls for a sensitive and prayerful performance.
